Last week on their way to Germany and Holland to play some gigs, the band swung by London and spoke to Christian Today. In this interview, the three sisters— Rebecca, Alyssa, and Lauren Barlow— take time to truly reflect and look back at how God has led them to where they stand today.
What’s your schedule like here in Europe?
Alyssa: We’re playing at Germany, and we’ll have some more interviews. Then we’ll play at EO Youth Day.
I believe Rebecca [St. James] will be at EO, too?
Rebecca: Yea, we’ll do some interviews with her as well.
How has your relationship with Rebecca St. James grown since you’ve been touring together?Rebecca: After a 40 day tour, you become very close. She’s just an amazing woman of God. And it was such an amazing tour.
Alyssa: Every time we go to Nashville, we hang out together.
Rebecca: We had a show in Nashville last week, and she stood in the audience holding a big ‘BarlowGirl’ sign!
Alyssa: We just like supporting each others’ ministries. We’re great friends, and our families are close to each other.
Lauren Enters
What gives you the strength to keep touring and playing?
Rebecca: Our heart is to share our relationship with the Lord. That passion is what keeps us going. Also, our mum and dad are on the road with us, and our mum is always there cheering us on and making sure that we have time to rest up so that when we have a list of things to do, we can be full enough to overflow.
If you weren’t in this band, what would you be doing now?
Rebecca: I would probably be in a place like Wyoming. I’ll have a horse ranch and an old jeep, and I’d probably be a mechanic or a cosmetologist.
Alyssa: I think I’d be doing theatre.
Lauren: I would probably have moved out to Southern California to work with animals... like dolphins.
Sea World in San Diego maybe?
